is there any way to make good torrent on the headless/x-less box?

I've tried with ctorrent but it gives corrupted torrent file: only ~400MB movie to instead ~4.5GB.
tried to change piece_len to 4194304 (as I saw on other torrents that work), but again got ~400MB.

:(

Not possible (yet) :/

There are other CLI tools to make torrents, like net-p2p/mktorrent

If you don't have files over 1GB, 2MB pieces are just fine.

I have 4.5 and 8GB files and 2MB peaces work fine so far, but I know that there are usualy 4MB peaces with these file sizes.
